I want 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,160 so much to be happy. 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,760 But seeing you with somebody else, my heart's in a million pieces here, and I 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,400 can't help it. I've been asked to serve out Art Middleman's term on the city 9 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,840 council. Wow. What an honor. It's a five -month appointment. I'm not considering 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,840 running for a seat. 11 00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:42,220 Are you saying I should hide the fact that I'm seeing a white woman? Of course 12 00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:45,720 not. But you might want to consider the timing of this kind of personal 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,220 revelation. I understand. 14 00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:52,500 I want us to be together emotionally, but I never said anything about getting 15 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,580 married. But that's where we're headed. 16 00:00:56,170 --> 00:01:00,190 I don't want to string you along, so... You're breaking up with me, aren't you? 17 00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:02,370 Mind if I take this off? 18 00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:04,030 I'm hot. 19 00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:08,850 You always were my biggest fan. 20 00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:13,310 Carpe diem. 21 00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:15,490 Which is why I've decided to get married. 22 00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:16,568 To who? 23 00:01:16,570 --> 00:01:18,030 The former Mrs. 24 00:01:18,510 --> 00:01:19,630 Brackman. Sheila? 25 00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:23,670 Because my life is a mess right now, I let you convince me to lie. 26 00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:26,100 I'm going to the judge. 27 00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:29,140 You gotta go! 28 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,420 Looks like another perfect day. I love L .A. Arnie. Rox, I'm a new man. A little 29 00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:56,860 randy, maybe. Arnie, there's a problem. Getting rid of the deadwood, huh? 30 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,220 Just make sure I get proper billing. Arnie, you can't go in your office. 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,620 Oh, not more water damage. 32 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:03,900 I've called security. 33 00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,740 Rox, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but when the toilet upstairs 34 00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:11,400 gets plugged, call maintenance. Arnie, what I'm trying to say is... The circus 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,400 is back in town. 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,220 Rodolfo, the cape, the goatee, divorce becomes you. 37 00:02:16,460 --> 00:02:17,480 Prepare to die. 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,240 Listen, I'd love to talk, but I am really jammed this morning. 39 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,760 I'll fit you in. I have lost everything. 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,340 But you agreed to the settlement. My life has no value. My family name is 41 00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:31,660 dishonored. Mr. Belladon is in ruin. 42 00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:33,260 Rudolfo. Rudy. 43 00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,220 This is a common response to a painful situation. 44 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,500 What you're feeling is a diminished sense of self. Call it a lack of 45 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Let's be reasonable. 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,880 Masha, open the trunk. 47 00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:49,240 Oh, wait a second. I think you're making a mistake. 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,680 In fact, I know you're making a mistake. My only mistake was trusting you. Hey, 49 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,340 pal, I did my job. 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,020 You're the one who found your wife high -wiring it with the trapeze act. 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,240 Ciao. 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Thank you. Well, I'm glad we all got that out of our system. 53 00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:10,440 I know I feel better. 54 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,720 No, no! 55 00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:16,910 This has gone far enough. 56 00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:18,330 One knife remains. 57 00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:19,850 Rox, do something. 58 00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:22,850 Like what? You have destroyed my manhood. 59 00:03:23,390 --> 00:03:26,230 Now it is my turn to destroy yours. 60 00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:29,790 For the love of God.

If you say so. 63 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,240 Leaner and meaner law machine. 64 00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:52,540 A clear reflection of the time. Well, all well and good, but perhaps we've 65 00:05:52,540 --> 00:05:53,540 short -sighted. 66 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,580 I can't help feeling we must be doing something wrong with all the comings and 67 00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:00,320 goings this past year. We should 68 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:07,240 install a revolving door. 69 00:06:09,789 --> 00:06:13,810 You were the one who showed Grace Van Owen the great white way out and agreed 70 00:06:13,810 --> 00:06:17,630 pay for her move to New York. Well, consider it Grace's going away prison. 71 00:06:18,470 --> 00:06:20,410 Then I never should have sent her the picture, friend. 72 00:06:21,230 --> 00:06:22,550 Who ate my bran muffin? 73 00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:25,150 Unusual neckwear, Benny. 74 00:06:26,430 --> 00:06:27,670 My Swiss cheese top. 75 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:29,950 Oh?

Lamb, on the other hand. C .J.? Everyone loved her. 86 00:07:00,870 --> 00:07:04,410 But C .J. wasn't committed to the law. If her heart's set on joining the 87 00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:06,110 professional golf tour, so be it. 88 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:11,050 Now she'll get it both ways, and hit from the red tees. There's so many 89 00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:12,050 around here. 90 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,600 I'm concerned about morale. 91 00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,660 Nonsense. This isn't about feelings.

Divorce used to be fun, but everybody's lost their sense of fair 107 00:07:59,650 --> 00:08:01,270 play. Nowadays, it's life and death. 108 00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:05,830 And who's going to pay for this suit? We will. We will? You're damn right. 109 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:08,910 Nobody in this room generates greater income for Mackenzie Brackman than yours 110 00:08:08,910 --> 00:08:10,450 truly.

A 114 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,880 dispute. You threw me a bone. 115 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,520 Where are we on that one? Jury's been impaneled. Opening statements have been 116 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,520 waived. 117 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000 I have to change. 118 00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:36,240 May we get down to business? 119 00:08:36,539 --> 00:08:37,379 Hold on, Douglas. 120 00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:39,419 Oh, the candidate has the floor.
